I bet it’s closer than you think. The Steelers seem to have fans everywhere including New York State. They had a bunch in Foxboro a couple weeks ago. And while hindsight is 20/20, the Steelers Ravens game was a far more intriguing match-up (and turned out to be a great game). Also while their MAY be more Pats fans in Albany (again not a given in my mind), most fans in Albany follow teams other than the Pats so it’s not like pre-empting a Giants game.

You are probably right because the Raiders and Pats both have lots of fans. Although I am guessing not every one in raider nation is glued to their TV sets this season. My point was (a) the Steelers are very popular in the Albany area, and (b) fans who don’t follow the Pats, Raiders, Steelers or Ravens (which in this area would be many fans given the number of Giants, Jets, Bills, Cowboys, and Dolphin fans) might find the Steelers at Ravens game entertaining. And again hind site is 20/20 but it was a great game.
